It`s a bird! It`s a plane! No, wait, it IS a bird!
TWO OF THEM! 🦉🦉
Athena`s two eggs have hatched! Thanks to our partnership with @cornellbirdcams, you can see her and the owlets in real time on a 24/7 live camera and follow along as they grow up in the next few weeks.
This year, Athena the Great Horned Owl arrived at the nest and laid her first egg on March 1. On March 5, a second egg was laid. Since then, Athena has been incubating the eggs, while her partner has been spotted delivering food to Athena around dawn and dusk most days.
